I was really making a general point, rather than hitting the Greens in the particular. It is a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario for smaller parties.The Greens? Yes. I think we can all agree they have been absolutely useless in Government.
At least if they're on the opposition bench they can complain about and point out the stupid/corrupt things FF do.
After the next election, if Labour go in with FG, they'll be damned for selling out their socialist routes. If they go in with FF, they'll be damned for dancing with the devil. If they sit it out in principled opposition, they will fade away and die. From their POV, small parties have to bit the bullet, and be prepared to go for best policy-based Govt they can find.
